It’s official – CBS All Access has announced the new series “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” which will see the pre-Kirk crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise return after their debut in the second season of “Star Trek: Discovery”.
Anson Mount’s Captain Christopher Pike, Ethan Peck’s Spock and Rebecca Romijn’s Number One are all coming back for this third full live action show in the Alex Kurtzman-produced Trekverse following “Star Trek Discovery” and “Star Trek Picard”.
The series is expected to explore all the years leading up to Christopher Pike’s infamous accident and Kirk taking over as captain of the famed Federation starship.
The new show launches with a premiere penned by Akiva Goldsman from a story by him, Kurtzman and fellow executive producer Jenny Lumet. Henry Alonso Myers, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth also all executive produce.
It’s not clear when production will kick off.

They can’t make it worse than it already is? Mount played the only decent character in STD.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Indeed, Captain Pike was good.
I hear them say: 'optimism', but I'll have to see it first. Shit blowing up and arsehole characters have been on the foreground, don't think they can help themselves.
I heard so much negative stuff about Picard I didn't dare watch beyond episode 1. I lost hope of any Star Trek being any good - it's not Star Trek. It looks like Star Trek but it's just like any other gritty scifi show or movie, full of negativity, pessimism and now with extra dose of woke. Fuck that.
BSG was awesome btw. And there are enough good sci-fi shows out there to get writers and producers that could have done a better job than Kurtzman and his team.

Oh fuck. Because of this thread I thought: you know what, let me download Picard and see for myself...
That first episode alone... motherfucking cunts, wtf is this crap.
I never downloaded it since what I heard made me go 'nope' and seeing it the feeling left is: delete the footage, crush the discs and launch the fragments into the sun.
Oh shit, right... everything is in the cloud these days... Euhm... I guess we need Telekinesis for that.
this almost summarizes Hollywoke and TV-series as a whole in these dire times.. agenda is more important than having viewers, canon, review scores, profit... at least we can laugh at the stupidity.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Production Begins on Paramount+ Series, New Casting Revealed"
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is now in production. The new Paramount+ series has also added five new actors to its cast. Babs Olusanmokun, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Jess Bush, and Melissa Navia are joining Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck on the latest series addition to the Trek universe. This series follows the early adventures of the Starship Enterprise before Captain James T. Kirk took the helm.
...
STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will feature fan favorites from season two of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.
So it takes place 100 years after Star Trek: Enterprise (which I really enjoyed except that buttery nauseating intro music) and 7 years before he temporarily takes the position as Captain in Star Trek: Discovery.
The premise and the fact that it's the same kind of mission as the original Star Trek and Star Trek: Enterprise gives me some hope about this one. I can't help wonder if this was created as a direct reaction to the lukewarm (or even shitty) reception by the audience even if über-woke professional reviewers as usual pander to the current state of Hollywood (to be kept in the loop and not ending up on the various companies' naughty lists) and giving STD an average of 8.2% on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2% on IMDB, lower than Star Trek: Enterprise with 7.5% which at the time was seen as partly a failure in comparison to the excellent Star Trek: TNG (8.6%).
I'm not sure why the original series from 1966+ is still so highly rated. Perhaps it's due to nostalgia and the fact that it was mostly watched by boomers + a nostalgic factor. I found most of the OG movies okay but the series was cheesy and silly as hell and I just can't stand the OG tv show. Sure, TNG had plenty of cheesy moments, mostly during it's first two seasons when they tried to find the right formula and the actors shaped and finalized their characters but generally it's great fun whether it's time travel, strange phenomenon, new first contacts etc. etc. And it had some great characters.
As far as "Picard" goes, it should've been done a decade earlier with a younger Patrick Stewart and taking place earlier in the timeline when Jean-Luc Picard was still an Admiral
and thus scrapping all the newly written story between the last episode of TNG and Picard. Oh well.
Still looking forward to this show though. The title of this new show seems to link up with the previous shows about the Enterprise; exploration with good, bad, weird and interesting results. The mere title of Star Trek: Discovery sounded promising but the only thing that was discovered were awkward and cringe-inducing characters, overacting and totally weird and different Klingons.

Maybe it rates highly because even with its shitty ass effects, its better written and 10x more entertaining than the garbage they put out today no? why does it always have to be nostalgia? like laser battles are the pinacle of excitement I watch movies I've never seen from the 70's i never grew up with and most the time they decimate the crap produced today.
I didn't finish Picard or that new dark edgy laser shit one either, they are just too poorly written, none of the characters are likable and its too reliant on its computer enhancements to be entertaining. It takes skill to make 2 shows with not a single likable character, how is that even possible without objectively getting in a room full of people and planning for viewers to hate every single character?
Here is the plot: It will start seemingly good then turn to shit.

It is so weird that before the show even aired they already announced and showed Kirk in costume for Season 2. Picard did the same thing with the TNG announcement for Season 3, I guess with streaming they want to try and get people to sub early even if the show is still a year away.
I bet somewhere in the middle of the season they will time travel to alternative/nowaday earth and it's gonna be woke nonsense.

So Angry Joe reviewed two first episodes and so far it's solid old Star Trek. There is some Kurtzman in it but not enough to destroy the reception.

Not once, but twice. "hit it" is quite lame compared to engage. I'm not really sure what they're aiming for with it
Since Picard saying engage became so synonymous with a ship going to warp they have tried to have each captain of the show have their own saying when they go to warp and say some something that may catch on but none have. Discovery even had a bit of a joke about it with Captain Saru trying out a bunch of different sayings to go to warp right after he became captain.
